What WeStride does

WeStride Institute of Technology is a Bangkok-headquartered, privately-held education technology company (founded 2021, 11–50 employees) that delivers online and hybrid technology education to Thai and Southeast Asian learners seeking to enter or advance in tech careers. Its product stack is delivered through a proprietary learning management system (dashboard.we-stride.com) and spans short-form 10–12 month bootcamps — UX/UI Design and Front-end with AI, Full-Stack Development with AI, Data Analytics/Science/Engineering with AI, AI Prompt Engineering, and Software Testing — as well as an accredited degree portfolio (Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering, MS Computer Science specializations in Data Analytics, Software Engineering and AI/ML, MBA, and Doctor of Business Administration) issued through Woolf University under the Lisbon Convention. The platform integrates AI fluency training into every program and pairs students with one-on-one mentors, dedicated career coaches, and externships via a 50+ company industry network; seven physical learning hubs across Thailand (Bangkok Nong Khaem, Siam, Icon Siam, Asok, Salaya, Rangsit, Ubon Ratchathani) anchor the online delivery.

WeStride monetizes through per-program tuition in Thai baht (bootcamps ฿38,000–41,500; master's ฿54,000–69,000; MBA ฿69,000; DBA ฿89,000; bachelor's ฿159,525–190,075), collectible via one-time payment, 0% 10–12 month credit-card installment, or Income Share Agreement (20% of post-graduation salary, capped at ฿98,500). It augments consumer revenue with a Corporate Education offering for enterprise upskilling. The 100% Job Guarantee — full tuition refund if employment is not secured within 6–7 months of graduation — is the core commercial differentiator on designated bootcamps and selected degree programs, supported by admissions advising, education fair presence (Ministry of Higher Education One Stop Open House 2024, Korat Open House 2025) and a documented 93% placement / 95% four-year graduation outcome. The company signals early cross-border expansion via country directors in the Philippines and Vietnam, and academic partners including Southeast Asia University (FutureX program) and Woolf University for accredited degree issuance.
